Love . . What is Love?

Ella decided to define what this means

• woke up at 12:30a.m. with a bad dream of bugs in her bed
• wanted to snuggle in our bed until Jeff "kindly" took her back to her room
• heard her music play 2 times
• she was up again . . . around 1:30 a.m. at this time
• decided she wasn't sleepy
• needed to watch a show
• decided she was thirsty
• watched "Meet the Robinsons" and a few other shows
• decided at 4:30 a.m. she was ready to go to bed
• heard the music play twice
• decided she needed me to snuggle with her
• snuggled for 2 more songs
• got out of her bed
• came to see me again
• decided she wasn't sleepy
• watched a few more shows
• greeted Jeff went he got up to run around 5:15 a.m.
• decided she was ready to sleep around 5:45 a.m.
• she did go to sleep
• I slept on the couch
• Jeff came in around 6:00 a.m.
• Seth up at 6:30 a.m.
• Jeff left around 6:30 a.m.
• Garrett up around 7:30 a.m.
• Started school around 8:00
• Ella up at 8:30 a.m.
• School continues
• try to entertain Ella without watching more TV
• school is almost finished 2:30 a.m.
• ready for COFFEE

All of this on top of a splitting headache that started before I went to bed and still continues as I type

Children, well, Ella decided to figure out how much I LOVE HER.  If only she knew!!!!

So the dilemma is . . .   Does she get a nap and take the chance of her not being sleepy again or do I run her ragged and put up with crys so I will sleep tonight?  I will tell you tomorrow.

(Wanted to write this for Ella so one day when she becomes a teenager and thinks I don't love her or when she becomes a mom and needs to know what mommies do)
